I like side jokes, for example (from Groucho):
"Outside a dog, a book is a man's (person's) best friend.
Inside a dog, its too dark to read."

There are lots of jokes based playing with meanings of ____-side words.
Imagine if there was a formula to generate all jokes.

"Was?" When did ACME go out of business? The alternative (far as past tense) is too much to contemplate.

Good spot - there are 22 rows of 47 plus the final row, which should be length 46 (since 23×47=1081) but clearly isn't.

I had to wait to see the doctor the other day, and the only thing there was to read was fashion magazines. I can't be bothered. It just goes in one year and out the other.

I like to add � and ’ any time I submit online forms because I know that some developer is going to see it and wonder if they have a bug.

Thinking of this another way, this is kind of clever "marketing after-the-fact".

If you had any doubts about whether you really needed this tool, those doubts will be dispelled with a vengeance. If they played their cards right, you might even stab yourself in the palm with the blunt kiddie scissors you had to use to get it open.
